Smoking is not immoral, thus it should be left up to the states. Homosexuality is a sin, and the states have proven they can’t all ban it. So let the feds do it. It may not be written in the Constitution, but morals are a stronger governor than the Constitution. If society is falling apart via the states’ failure to ditch gay marriage, I am not willing to sit around and wait for them all to comply. Something needs to be done. Morality comes first, Constitution second. That is my take, your opinion is your opinion and I respect that. I’m willing to agree to disagree, 1. because I’m sick of typing, and 2. debating all night isn’t going to change much.
Then let's start with the basics. How about a federal law to criminalize failure to comply with the First Commandment?
It is? I know plenty of Baptists that say it's immoral and a sin since it's not doing what one should with the 'temple of the body'

And thank you for playing...

No your opinion is based on 'feeling' and not the intent of the Framers. While I respect it (and even used to believe it), I now realize how much long term damage can be done by handing over another power to the federal government.
I'm not saying you don't have a correct stance when it comes to homosexuality but get it done at the state level
Just kick back and puff a doobie, mon....
The proper punctuation for sentence that begins "It may not be written in the Constitution, but..." is with a period after the word "but".
